Best Ultimate Baked Chocolate Pudding Recipes

CHOCOLATE SELF SAUCING PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170C/335F (standard) / 150C/305F (fan forced / convection).
• Grease a 5 - 6 cup baking dish with butter. (Note 3)
• Topping: Whisk brown sugar and cocoa in a bowl, set aside.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, caster sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the butter and milk, then whisk in the egg and vanilla.
• Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until combined - it will be a thick batter.
• Spread into baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar / cocoa mixture. Shake gently to spread out thinly.
• Carefully pour the hot water over the back of a dessert spoon all over the top of the pudding - see photo in post or video below recipe. (Note 4)
• Transfer to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when poked lightly. The top will be a bit crusty, like the top of brownies.
• Remove from oven, stand for just a few minutes (no more!), then serve immediately. (Note 5)

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and thick in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-high speed. On low speed, add the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan and, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the chocolate mixture. Combine well, then pour the mixture back into the pan.
• Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until thickened. If the mixture begins to curdle, remove it from the heat and beat it vigorously with a wire whisk. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate, butter, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until the chocolate and butter are melted.
• Pour into serving bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on the top of the pudding, and chill thoroughly.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Put 1 1/2 cups of the milk, the sugar, and the cocoa in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer, over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of the milk, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and continue whisking until thick, about 2 or 3 minutes more.
• Pour the pudding into 6 small cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight until set.
• Just before serving pour the cream into a chilled bowl. Whip the cream with a whisk or a hand held mixer, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Take care not to over-beat the cream or it will be grainy. Serve each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

EASY CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk or stir with a fork until smooth and all lumps have been incorporated.
• Combine remaining milk with sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook, whisking as needed to prevent lumps from forming, until mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chocolate chips and salt. Continue stirring until chips are completely melted and pudding is smooth and thickened, about 7 minutes more.
• Pour pudding into 1 large bowl or 6 individual bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming; smooth it gently against the surface. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Spoon into individual serving dishes. Chill until serving. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and M&M's.

ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt with whisk. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until pudding boils and is thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 2 minutes longer.
• Remove from heat; gently stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Pour into large bowl; cover surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm, or refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with whipped cream.

ULTIMATE BAKED CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400* F. Place the chocolate and the butter in a mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water. Do not allow mixing bowl to touch the water as your chocolate will scorch. (You can also use a bain marie or double boiler.) Stir until melted. Remove from heat.
• 2. In another mixing bowl mix the eggs, sugar, water, flour, and vanilla until just mixed. In a thin, steady stream add the melted chocolate/butter mixture. Stir until fully combined.
• 3. Pour mixture into 4 one-cup ramekins. Place on a baking sheet and onto the middle rack in oven.
• 4. Bake 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are fully set. Remove from oven immediately. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with cream, berries, or ice cream.

BAKED CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 16-ounce souffle dish with half a tablespoon of the butter and line the bottom with waxed paper.
• Cream the remaining butter with the sugar. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Stir in the milk, then blend into the butter mixture. Beat in the egg yolk and stir in the vanilla and the flour.
• Beat the egg until softly peaked and fold into the chocolate mixture. Spoon the batter into the prepared dish, put the dish in a pan of boiling water that comes halfway up the sides of the dish, put in the oven and bake about 40 minutes, until the top is firm to the touch.
• Remove from the oven and allow to sit in the warm water for at least 30 minutes. To serve, run a knife around the inside of the baking dish, unmold onto a plate, peel off the waxed paper and spoon the chocolate sauce around the pudding. Serve with whipped cream on the side.
